The 27-year-old frontman had previously been linked with a free transfer move to Nottingham Forest last month.

Hernandez cost the Tigers £10m when he arrived at the KCOM Stadium from Palermo, and scored eight goals in eight starts last term, a season blighted by injury.

Those injury problems which have seen his progress in England severely hampered have seen him miss out on a place in Uruguay's World Cup squad.

Tigers boss Nigel Adkins was desperate to keep him on Humberside, but the striker took to Twitter to confirm his intention not to sign a new contract and depart for a fresh challenge.

“I am writing to say THANK YOU to all the fans of Hull for these 4 beautiful years, in which they have give me all the affection, during good times and also during the not-so-good ones,” Hernandez wrote on social media.

“You never stopped showing my your full support and affection, and I am deeply grateful.

“I will never forget the matches in which you singed [sic] my name, this is something that I will have forever in my heart.

“This is why you deserve to now, directly from me, that my time in Hull is now over, everything comes to an end and, today, I have to say goodbye. Sometimes a fair agreement is not reached, and football is liked that.
